I wish it were more acceptable to say "But word around the family says you're herding Moroccan oil goats--what do you mean you're in med school in New York?"

That's hilarious.

I can't imagine my parents ever being in the same city as me and staying in a hotel. It's just not Our Way, for good or ill.

My mom used to stay with me when she came down for work sometimes, but usually work would pay for the hotel. And now I have the cat, so she never stays over.

Well, under most circumstances he'd stay with me while in town (he leaves for a conference in DC on sunday) but this is 3 days of back-to-back planning meetings in which even dinner and breakfast are working meetings. It makes more sense for him to stay in the hotel where the meetings are being held than schlep 20 minutes back and forth to my place at ungodly hours. Even some locals are staying in the hotel.

Timelies!

I am eating a McDonnalds Big Breakfast. For a moment, I had misplaced the pepper, but have since found it. Crisis averted.

Yeah, you know what's awesome? I have a report that I'm updating that says X number of people did a certain activity. I ask the program person if that's still true, he says that's crazy, it's more like 1/4 X. BAH!

OK, here's my submission for Most Disturbing Link of the Day: Photos of Pregnant Animals

Welcome to my site! My name is Simon 'Skunky' Morrison, and I very love animals. Probably it looks bizarre, but I very much like to see pregnant animals. I very much love to look at their huge, distended bellys. I have female dog named Marta, and each year she becomes pregnant, and I very like to observe her and touch her inflated belly. It's great!
Now, I want to show you my collection of photos of pregnant animals. Some of them I found in the Internet, some has scanned from magazines, and some has made by myself. The very first photo in Dogs section - it's pregnant Marta!

Um, there are quite a lot of photos....

TDS's ***** is oen of the funniest things I've seen since Lazy Sunday. Oh, how I laughed.

Oh yeah. I hurt myself laughing. Right up there with the Stone Phillips gravitas-off on the Colbert Reporrrrrr

I did not click the link, but Simon "Skunky" Morrison is creepy. And poor Marta.

The TDS thing bonbon mentioned was FUHNEE! I loved " Brokeback Senate "!

Also, Pierce Brosnan with the Col. Sanders beard is disturbing.

I slept late. I picked up a package at the PO which made me more late. My boss is out and no one seems to have noticed. SCORE!

Listened to the Project Runway podcast for the first time. TIM IS THE AWESOME.

I love the Tim podcast!!

Can you believe that Marla woman?
